The center is located on the corner of Arzobispo Meriño and Arzobispo Portes in the colonial center of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Description: “New lines are moving over and underneath the city of Santo Domingo; however, we ask ourselves, are these METRO times?” [Díaz adds that he plans to have Juan Luis Guerra as a special guest at the event.]
